💻 Code

type A = {[key: string]: number};
declare var a: A;
for (const key in a) {
    const value: number = a[key];
}

🙁 Actual behavior

Error:

Type 'number | undefined' is not assignable to type 'number'.
  Type 'undefined' is not assignable to type 'number'.(2322)

🙂 Expected behavior

No error, key is in object by the for...in loop and clearly isn't modified as variable is const

This is the documented behavior of the flag; see #39560. It's entirely possible to read an undefined out of this loop if mutation were to occur to the object prior to the read.
